As Keith Olbermann prepares to return to MSNBC tomorrow, it’s the network, not the host, that’s reportedly apologizing. Olbermann “insisted that MSNBC bosses apologize to him before he would agree to return,” a network insider tells PopEater. “Keith sees himself as the star of MSNBC, the person who put them on the map and discovered fellow network anchors Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. To be treated like this by the network he helped shape, he considers disgusting.”

Moreover, “Keith is demanding that the rules be changed," says an executive. "Keith thinks it's unfair that Fox News anchors can make contributions and support candidates and he can't.” Adds a friend: “Keith clearly won this battle. You watch—his rating on Tuesday when he returns will be bigger than ever, giving him even more power at MSNBC."

"Keith thinks it's unfair that Fox News anchors can make contributions and support candidates and he can't.” So why doesn't try to get a job at fox news then?

This person is truly delusional. He has made reference to his Ivy League education. He went to Cornell. Geographically yes, but he attended the college of agriculture, which is administered by Cornell, but is a state and federally funded cow milking school.

Before you poop yourself laughing (again), maybe you should realize that having the most numbers (like 1 BILLION Chinese population or 1.6 BILLION muslims) doesn't make you more 1. right 2. intelligent 3. wise. It just makes you ...more. Now , run along, little sheep, before your tivo freaks out trying to record American Idol and Dawg the Bounty Hunter at the same time.
